Variability in spatial accessibility of emergency medical services has become a major concern in evaluating the quality of emergency medical services in China. Unlike some other public services, response time is critical in the provision of emergency medical services. Traffic congestion may significantly affect response time, especially in large cities. This study uses a transportation simulation model to estimate the travel time under free-flow and congested road conditions and measure the corresponding spatial accessibility of emergency medical services for various hours of a day in inner-city Shanghai. When traffic congestion is considered, the overall spatial accessibility is significantly reduced, and the effect is further magnified in certain congested areas. The results help policy makers in planning the emergency medical services resource that is sensitive to the spatiotemporal variation of its accessibility.
